Brian's Story
Life
After the death of my mother in April 2000, I retired from my job as Registrar of UCSC Extension in 2001 to focus on what has always been a dream of mine -- to make some sort of a career in theater. That career may be in writing, acting, or directing and may be at a local or larger level; it doesn't really matter. Since retiring, I have written close to twenty short plays and one longer adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol'. I have directed several highly successful local productions and have added to my acting credits. Locally, I have been acknowledged by a local reviewer as the 'Best Actor of the Year' on four separate occasions. In the realm of meeting goals, I have sung in three operas ('Amahl and the Night Visitors' - Page; 'Madama Butterfly' - Gor...Expand for more
o; and 'Carmen' - Remendado); I have appeared in a full-length independent film ('SteelHeel' - Officer Sam); and I sang 'Music of the Night' for A Gay Evening in May to a packed audience at the Civic Auditorium. I recently had my first short film produced. It is a comedy and I also appear in the film. With any luck it will get into a film festival or two and we'll see where it goes from there.

Well, the short film never went anywhere because the director just flaked out on it! Oh, well.
I'm not producing theatre anymore because I ran out of money -- the old saying about 'don't put your own money in your show' is true! But it was fun for awhile.
I'm now doing stuff for other people's theatre companies. That's OK because it is also their money!
